Tomorrow night I get to go with Tera to the Cleveland Cavaliers regular season opener against the Dallas Mavericks.  She got the tickets from her boss who apparently couldn’t make it that night.  They’re supposed to be great seats so I’m pumped.  I’ve only been to one other Cavs game in the past and the seats we had were by far what you would call “nose bleed” seats.  This game will also be special because they will be raising the Eastern Conference Championship banner from last year.  I can’t think of a better way to spend Halloween.

Besides that everything else has been about the same as always.  I’ve been pretty busy with classes and trying to keep up with football.  It has definitely been one of the best seasons to watch due to the parity.  I wish every season was so unpredictable.

I spent a lot of time last weekend making out my schedule for not only next semester, but for the rest of my college career.  I think I have it mostly figured out but who knows what will change.  Next semester is set though.  I’ll be taking Algorithms and Data Structures, Computer Architecture, and Computer Graphics for my Computer Science major.  I will also finally get my last science class in:  Geology.  That shouldn’t be too bad but I HATE science with a passion (well, except for Computer Science of course).  Symphonic Winds and my Euph lesson with Bock will also carry over into next semester and potentially all of next year.  My final class will be African-American Religion.  That’s where it gets interesting.  I searched and searched for classes that would fit my schedule and were upper level to count towards my credits.  That seemed to be the only one that would fit.  With that in mind, I also realized that I may be able to wrap up a religion minor in the next year.  I’ve already had a few religion courses and apparently the minor does not require too many hours, so I’ll have to look into that.

Time to continue studying.  Have a great Halloween!

Finally, this week of classes and exams is over.  I’m not quite sure how I feel about it.  I think I did alright on most of my exams but I won’t know for sure until probably next week.  Regardless, it’s over and I’m done worrying about it for now.  Time to enjoy a 4 day weekend.

Tera’s friend Luke has been in town most of the week so she’s been busy hanging out with him.  Since I wasn’t busy studying for once, I went bowling with them and a couple other people last night.  I bowled amazing my first game but after that it was all down hill.  Scott and I had to do a lot of heavy lifting at work during the day so my arm didn’t hold up for long bowling.  It was still fun though.  $6 all you can bowl for about 2 1/2 hours.  Plus it was glow in the dark.  After that it was back to Tera’s to just hang out.

With all of the upsets this year in football, I’m begging for Notre Dame to upset #4 Boston College.  Not that it would save what’s left of this season, but it would definitely be a big positive to remember it by.  While I don’t see it happening, I can still dream.

Speaking of dreams, the Indians seemed to have woken up last night getting defeated 10-3 last night by the Boston Red Sox.  If they can at least make it interesting I’ll be happy.  The Indians shouldn’t lose that bad again, but stranger things have happened.

I’m going to do some cleaning up and organizing around here since my room became a wreck this week.  Go Irish!

This week I have 3 exams (one of which was today) in 3 days which is horrendous.  It may actually be worse than finals week.  Artificial Intelligence boosted the class average to a “D” after this last assignment in which the average was also a D.  I managed a good grade but that doesn’t subdue my frustration with the class.  The first A.I exam will be tomorrow and almost everyone has conceded to failing.  I’ve studied all that I can so we’ll find out how it goes.  At this point, I’m just too angry to care.

On a positive note, the Cleveland Indians defeated the New York Yankees to move on the the MLB Playoffs.  I’m glad they finished it in four games rather than having it go to a fifth.  That would have been way too stressful.

I know this isn’t much of an update but as I stated before, this week isn’t a good one.  At least I have a four day weekend to look forward to due to fall break.
